Chapter 5 Mini-series
At night, Zhang Hong had a dream.
He dreamed that Lin Muqing invited him to a birthday party.
He went.
But at the banquet, he was looked down upon by everyone, but he was not the king of soldiers, the god of war, and the doctor immortal who returned to the city.
So he didn't pretend to be slapped in the face, but just left like a dog in the midst of everyone's ridicule.
Then, the dream awoke.
After smoking a cigarette silently, he hummed "Young and Promising" and finished dressing and washing.
Then he quietly opened the door of the house, slipped downstairs quickly, and rode his beloved magenta sheep towards the second courtyard.
When he came to the hospital, he met Sun Zheng and Sun Dao, who had been transferred out of the ICU, in ward 404.
The bald old man was amusing the little nurse who had put a needle in the back of his hand.
Seeing Zhang Hong coming, he just nodded.
After the nurse finished the needle and ran away with a red face, he squeezed his eyes at Zhang Hong: "Xiao Zhang, do you think the nurses in this hospital are good? Let me tell you, the nurses in these tertiary hospitals are all undergraduate girls who have graduated from a minimum of 211, and their height must be more than 1.65 meters, and there are really a lot of beautiful ones inside." ”
Zhang Hong rolled his eyes: "Director Sun, when can you get out of bed?" I still need you to do a lot of things over there." ”
Sun Zhengdun felt bored: "You kid is going to be a capitalist and squeeze employees now?"
Waiting for Zhang Hong to help shake the backrest a little higher, Sun Zheng nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"What did you say yesterday? I've heard them tell me. He plucked out his ears, "Withdraw your capital, you just need to practice your hands." Also, you can call me Uncle Sun, let's be polite. ”
It's only five million, and he really doesn't care too much.
As long as Zhang Hong, a junior he is particularly satisfied with, can be cultivated, then the five million dollars are worth it.
"Okay, Uncle Sun. What I'm going to tell you now is about the TV series. Zhang Hong took out the script and handed it over, "Uncle Sun, you wrote this script?"
"It's not. Sun Zheng casually put the script aside, and then began to peel bananas, "Didn't you write this script yourself? ”
Zhang Hong: "......"
Dare to love this garbage script was written by your past self?
That's it?
And then why are you a top student in the film and television academy?
Could it be that the female teacher who admitted him at the beginning fell in love with his beauty?
Seeing Zhang Hong staring at him, he took out another banana from the bedside table: "Come on?"
"No, thank you. Zhang Hong waved his hand before he said, "Uncle Sun, do you think I did something wrong with that little white face?"
"Not really. Sun Zheng ate the banana slowly, "But I do want to know what you think, you must know that Jimei culture is the strongest in the industry." When they said they wanted to invest in you, I was surprised. ”
"I don't have any ideas, after all, you need to be hard to strike iron. After a pause, Zhang Hongcai said: "I just think that if you are a superior person, you should treat others as people." Those who are subordinate to others should treat themselves as human beings. If you don't see yourself as a human being, then how can others treat you as a human being. ”
That's the way he's always done things.
But he is lucky, his colleagues, bosses, and bosses in the company in his previous life are all good, and what everyone values more is ability after all.
Iron also needs to be hard, you have the ability, that crazy others have nothing to say.
But if your own level is not enough and you are still so crazy, this is called bluffing.
In Zhang Hong's view, many traffic stars in the entertainment industry are bluffing.
Why are you playing big names, why are you so arrogant?
Because they know that they are rootless duckweed, the more they will do it in order to show that they are strong.
On the contrary, those really powerful industry bigwigs are all approachable.
Because individuals know their coffee positions, they don't need to package their status in this way.
Sun Zheng gave a thumbs up: "It's worthy of you, always so outstanding." That's why I thought you kid wasn't an ordinary person at first glance. ”
"......" Zhang Hong rolled his eyes, "Uncle Sun, I'll be honest, just the five million, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot a TV series with 60 episodes." ”
Although he is a layman, he also knows this kind of thing.
Even if all the actors use tricks, five million can't handle a 60-episode TV series at all.
And it's also a costume TV series, and the requirements for props and scenes are quite high.
Those five million are certainly not enough.
Unless Zhang Hong plans to make some non-mainstream costume drama.
But he was already unhappy watching that kind of shoddy TV series, and if he came by himself, he definitely wouldn't plan to do that.
Sun Zheng smiled: "Since you say so, you must already have an idea." Let's talk about it. ”
Anyway, he voted out five million.
Although this is a lot of money, it is not to the point of breaking his muscles and bones.
And the crew members all receive salaries normally, even if this drama is filmed, it has nothing to do with them.
So why can't you support Zhang Hong's idea?
You know, it's useless to just be at the top of your school rankings.
In the past, Jingying also had a doctorate in the directing department, and he was particularly rich in theoretical knowledge, but he made a movie by himself and was completely rubbish.
So take five million to Zhang Hong to practice, Sun Zheng thinks it's a good deal.
In fact, Zhang Hong does have an idea.
In fact, it's the same as going to work in a company.
There are more people who can ask questions, but at the same time, it is people who can give solutions.
At the same time, the person who can give a variety of solutions for the boss to choose is the talent among the talents.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hong is such a talent.
He took back the script from the hospital bed and opened it, and said: "Sixty episodes is too much, if you really don't mind, Uncle Sun, I suggest controlling the number of episodes to ten to twelve episodes, let's go to the boutique drama mode." ”
Sun Zheng came to be interested: "Let's talk about it." ”
Zhang Hong nodded: "There are several benefits to doing this.
First, we can reduce costs and try to spend as much money as possible.
Second, you can increase the budget for each episode, 5 million to 60 episodes, and 5 million to 10 episodes and 12 episodes, the cost of a single episode is naturally different, so that each episode can be made into a boutique as much as possible.
Third, it can also control the rhythm of the TV series well, so that the rhythm of each episode is very tight, and it can also leave enough room for reversal. ”
This is also an option he found when he watched TV series in his previous life.
In fact, it is obvious that even if a TV series is really good, if it is stretched to dozens of episodes, a lot of irrigation will inevitably be carried out.
For the same TV series, twenty-five episodes and sixty episodes, the difference is really much worse.
And he has discovered since he was a child watching TV series that the fewer episodes, the easier it is to produce high-quality products.
From watching "Pacific War" when I was a child, to the first season of "The Walking Dead" later.
and then to the first season of Netflix's "House of Cards".
and even the domestic "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Undocumented Crime".
These TV series all illustrate the power of mini-series.
Tight and smooth with fast pace.
The ups and downs of the plot brought about by multiple reversals.
This is also Zhang Hong's goal.
Since you said, "I can do it too", let's try it hard!
I can't shoot it myself, so why can't I copy it?
"You have a point. Sun Zheng agreed.
"But ......"
He finished eating the banana and threw the banana peel in the trash.
After that, he looked up at Zhang Hong while picking his nostrils: "You still want to make a boutique mini-series with a conventional script like "Cloud Falling Red Dust"? Xiao Zhang, you think too much." ”
Zhang Hong: "......"
He opened the script and showed Sun Zheng the content full of his own notes: "That's why I have to change the script thoroughly, Uncle Sun." ”
Sun Zheng took the script and flipped through it carefully.
It's messy and messy, and the script has basically been changed all over again.
After a while, he raised his head: "It's kind of interesting." ”
PS: It has been signed, but the contract editor has two weekends off, and the contract template should be sent to fill in next Monday, and then printed and sent.
